Empowering one minute film inspired & set to a Poem I wrote by the same name: Black Is Beautiful From America to Jamaica and the Amazon From Asia to Africa and London Brown skinned brothers and sisters come Bringing our beauty and life Our words and our music, overcoming our strife BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL From our heads to our toes Each and every one of us knows Where our history lies Written in books And in the way we look BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL From history to modern day So much has changed -- we now have our say In entertainment through to politics We now stand up and hold our heads high Knowing the truth in the words we speak, and the reasons why BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL Little brown girls and little brown boys Now struggle less with the adversity life employs Their mothers and fathers paving the way For age old black girl pain To turn into new age black girl fame BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL Each time we speak a name From our history, we rejoice their gain Those like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Gandhi Who gave their lives so that next generations can be free So that it's now their own people that are envied BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL From sisters like Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey Who speak the truth and touch us spiritually They have done so much and proven they can They inspire us all, whether African, Indian, Hispanic or Asian All the while reinforcing BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL With our soft almond eyes and curled eyelashes To our ebony hair and smooth brown skin -- it all matches From the different shades, each one as exotic Covering our strong bodies, the way we move -- so erotic Watching us dance and sway -- just hypnotic BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL Floating on waves in Caribbean waters Or dancing to drums on African borders Calming the mind in Indian temples Smelling sweet aromas of spices and rose petals So many cultures that have felt the same pain Gone through the same adversity to now prosper and gain Our beauty is not only in our mocha skin But in the way we found freedom while staying true to our kin By coming together to share wisdom and joy Our children will gain life's sacred knowledge we employ -- BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL -- WE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
